“…A previous study suggested that it may begin as a result of local intestinal incongruency in homogeneity or a mechanical linkage of intestinal segments (Rallis et al 2000). Submucosal abscesses, fibroserous granulation, intestinal tumours, enteritis (viral, bacterial, and parasitic), and sudden diet changes resulting in vigorous and uncoordinated intestinal motility or hyper-motility and gas distension are predisposing factors (Archer et al 1988;Okamoto et al 2007;Pravettoni et al 2009). Calves have a higher prevalence of intussusception than adult cattle because of the thin, fragile nature of the mesentery, which is more susceptible to tearing under tension, and which allows increased movement of adjacent intestinal segments (Pearson 1971).…”

A two-month-old male 40 kg Korean native calf was referred to the Chonbuk Animal Medical Centre, College of Veterinary Medicine, Chonbuk National University because of prolonged diarrhoea, depression, and anorexia lasting three weeks. On physical examination, abdominal distension presented in the right flank and a percussion sound was audible. A round-shaped lesion was observed in the area of the large intestine on computed tomography and ultrasonography, and a diagnosis of intestinal intussusception was made. A surgical operation was decided upon immediately to correct the intussusception. An infarct lesion was found during surgery, and the lesion was observed on the intussuscepted intestines including the cecum, ileum, and colon. The area of intussusception was excised, and an anastomosis was performed. Despite intensive and supportive care, the patient died one day after the surgery due to poor general condition. An ileocecocolic intussusception is an uncommon case compared within other intestinal intussusceptions. Most affected calves have a history of severe diarrhoea and the prognosis is guarded due to poor general condition. Good survival can be expected if patients are diagnosed quickly.

“…11), intestinal neoplasia (especially adenocarcinoma), mural hematoma, heavy work load, 23 and administration of drugs that affect intestinal motility. [24][25][26][27][28] Any focal disturbance of intestinal motility may facilitate the invagination of an orad segment into an aborad segment of intestine. Intussusception involving the caecum was reported in 51 calves, of which 40 had diarrhea.…”

A wide variety of disorders affecting the intestinal tract in cattle may require surgery. Among those disorders the more common are: intestinal volvulus, jejunal hemorrhage syndrome and more recently the duodenal sigmoid flexure volvulus. Although general principles of intestinal surgery can be applied, cattle has anatomical and behavior particularities that must be known before invading the abdomen. This article focuses on surgical techniques used to optimize outcomes and discusses specific disorders of small intestine. Diagnoses and surgical techniques presented can be applied in field conditions.

“…Intussusception is implicated in conditions that alter intestinal motility, resulting in hyperperistalsis in the oral segment, associated with the relaxation of the distal segment, like, parasitism; sudden alterations in diet; enteritis (bacterial or viral) and intestinal injury associated with distal segment relaxation (ANDERSON, 2008;OKAMOTO et al, 2007;SILVA FILHO et al, 2010). Although the diagnosis can be made through the association of anamnesis, clinical signs, and complementary exams, it is usually performed during an exploratory laparotomy, or anatomopathological findings.…”

This work aims to describe the clinical, laboratory, and anatomopathological findings of two bovines, one affected by cecocolic intussusception, and the other by dilation with cecal torsion. The clinical examination demonstrated metallic resonance from the right flank, ruminal and intestinal hypomotility, and abdominal distension, in addition to alterations in feces characteristics. Was observed in the two animals leukocytosis by neutrophilia with regenerative shift to the left, and hyperfibrinogenemia. The analysis of ruminal fluid revealed impairment of the microbiota and an increase in chloride levels. The laparoscopic examination performed on one of the animals showed dilation of the colon, the cecum with hyperemia and serous edema, with a dividing halo between affected and unaffected portions, in addition to reddish peritoneal fluid. In the laparotomy, an enlarged cecum was found, with gaseous and liquid contents, swollen and turgid colon, and peritonitis. In addition to the findings observed during surgery, the anatomopathological examination demonstrated, in bovine 01, intestinal intussusception in the region of the cecocolic valve, and, in bovine 02, twisting of the loop at the ileocecocolic junction. Despite the low occurrence of digestive system disorders in cattle, cecal torsion and intussusception represent serious intestinal clinical conditions. These reports take the attention to the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to provide a correct diagnosis of intestinal diseases.
